4 0

Answer:

5/8 is about 1/2. 2/6 is about 0.

Step-by-step explanation: 2/6 is about 0 because 2 is close to 0. If the numerator is close to 0 and the denominator is not close to 0 then the benchmark is going to be 0. If the numerator is about half of the denominator then the benchmark is going to be 1/2. If the numerator and denominator is close to each other than the benchmark is going to be 1.

Ella grew 3 over 4 of an inch last year. Ben grew 2 over 3 of an inch last year. How much more did Ella grow than Ben last year?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Ella grew $\frac{1}{12}$ of an inch more

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, you want to subtract Ben's growth from Ella's.

This expression would be $\frac{3}{4}$ - $\frac{2}{3}$ .

To work these out, they must have the same denominator (which should be the lowest common multiple or LCM).

In this case, the LCM is 12, so you want to multiply each side so the denominator is 12. This means the first fraction should be multiplied by $\frac{3}{3}$ and the second by $\frac{4}{4}$ .

This makes the expression $\frac{9}{12}$ - $\frac{8}{12}$ , which equals $\frac{1}{12}$ .

Determine the equation of the parabola whose graph is given below. Write your answer in General Form. A parabola on a coordinate

dimaraw [331]

The equation of parabola becomes y = -2/25(x-3)^2 + 4.

According to the statement

we have given a graph and from this graph we have to find the equation of parabola in the general form.

So,

we know that the equation of parabola in general form is

y = a(x-h)^2 +k - (1)

From the graph we have:

a point on the graph is (x,y) = (-2,2)

the vertex of the graph is (h,k) = (3,4)

Now, substitute these values in the equation number (1)

Then

y = a(x-h)^2 +k

2 = a(-2-3)^2 +4

2 = a(-5)^2 +4

2 = a(25) +4

25a = -2

a = -2/25.

Now put a = -2/25 and (h,k) = (3,4) in the equation(1).

Then

the equation of parabola becomes y = -2/25(x-3)^2 + 4

So, The equation of parabola becomes y = -2/25(x-3)^2 + 4.
